v 23Claims.

This invention relates to a berboard container.

Heretofore in the art, ilberboard containers may have had a divided top with extensions on the free ends thereof which abut in cover-closing position and form what is known as a self-locking arrangement. Also, containers of this character have been provided with interlocking partitions to form cells, each for an individual vessel or article, such as a bottle. Sometimes, two opposite walls are provided with hand openings to permit ready grasping and lifting of the container with the bottles therein.

It is well known there are certain iiuids, such l5 as beer, which light affects and causes deterioration and at least one manufacturer oi beer has endeavored to avoid such deterioration by bottling lt in a colored glass, such as a brown bottle.

The present invention has for one of its chief gu objects, the adaptation of a container oi' this general character to the bottle beer industry by providing a light-shield arrangement in juxtaposition to the hand holes or apertures in the container, so that deterioration of the product, due to light 2,-, exposure, does not occur.

Another chief object of the invention is to reduce the cost of cellular containers by having the opposite ends of each cover-forming portion bear upon a relatively wide bearing portion of the :zo adjacent wall, thus eliminating stacking losses or cover breakage.

One feature of the invention consists in providing a relatively wide bearing near or at the top of a pair of opposite Walls which are engaged by the opposite ends of each cover-forming portion and which may, if desired, be interiorly and frictionally engaged by the reduced end portions of the locking extensions carried bythe coverforming portions for additional locking.

Another feature of the invention consists in this relatively wide bearing being juxtapositioned relative to the hand hole aperture so that a relatively wlde finished gripping surface is available 4;, to the fingers for container lifting or transportation.

A further feature of the invention relative to the wide bearing portion is that it serves as an end support for the two ends of each cover-forming portion, thereby permitting the employment of relatively low or shoulder high partitions when desired, although for convenience in the present invention, a median partition oi full container height is employed, the latter being notched at its upper end to nestingly receive the cover extension portions. The latter. however, is unnecessary if extermion end contact is provided.

The full height partition has an interlocking and/or operative relationship with the other partitions if of shoulder height so that the latter are retained at the bottom of the container for bottle bottom spacing if accidentally inverted.

Another feature of the invention consists in the reinforced wall structure serving as a relatively wide bearing for superposed containers so that if a stack of containers is not in exact alignment, material deformation of the cover of the next lower container below the non-aligned container will not occur.

Still a further feature of the invention consists in utilizing the material provided by forming the hand hole as a part of the reinforcement encircling arrangement.

The invention is illustrated as embodied in a single blank as well as a multiple blank type container.

The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims:

In the drawings, Fig. l is a top plan view of a container of the general character indicated and embodying the invention, a portion of the cover being open and tilted about Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. l and in the direction of the arrows and illustrates a different embodiment of the invention at each end.

Fig. 3 is an end elevational view, looking at the left-hand end of the container as shown in Figs. l and 2.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but of a Bliss" type box structure having a divided top structure.

Fig. 5 is an end elevation thereof similar to Fig. 3 of the container shown in Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a Bliss type container with hinged cover and embodying the invention.

Fig. 'i is an enlarged top plan view of a portion of a divided top structure.

In the drawings, l0 indicates a divided bottom, H and I2 opposite side walls. Il and il opposite end walls and I5 and end extensions thereof which have overlapping relation with the bottom and reinforce approximately two thirds of the bottom. If desired, these extensions il and I6 may substantially abut thus completely reinforcing the bottom.

The respective side and end walls are joined in succession by scored connections and the two remote edges are suitably secured together to form the outline of the container. For that purpose an extension l1 is provided which herein is carried by one side wall and is nested within one end wall and lies parallel thereto, and the two are secured together by any suitable means. auch as the metal stitching or stapllng lll or a taped Joint may be used.

Integral with each side wall and having a score type hinge connection. is a cover-forming portion Il hingedly connected as at Il. In view of the fact that blanks of this character are simultaneously scored and cut, the overall length of the cover-forming portion is slightly less than the overall outside length of the container and thus if the container is of single thickness board formation, the cover portions at opposite ends would not be supported by the end walls.

Each cover portion i8 has hingedly connected to it by the scoring 20, the locking extension 2i, the-overall length of which is less than the overall length of the cover portion and the ends 22 are inwardly oifset the desired amount with reference to the parallel ends of the cover portion for the purpose hereinafter set forth.

Heretofore, it has been the practice in manufacturing containers of the general character described, to provide partitions in spaced relation to each other of the desired number and have each extend from the bottom to the top of the container and thus form a support for the cover.

In the present invention, however, for reasons hereinafter to be set forth, it is not required or necessary that all partitions extend the full height of the container. Herein there are illustrated five partitions, four of them being indicated by the numeral 23. which extend from one side wall to the other and terminate slightly higher than the middle of the container as at 2l. The intermediate partition 28 is illustrated as of container depth in height. 'I'hree parallel partition members 21 of shoulder height have an interlocking relationship with the partitions 24 and 2B. Such interlocking relationship is indicated by the numeral 2l. Partition 28 has an interlocking relationship with said members 21 as at 28 and this is the reverse of intel-locks 25.

'Ihe partition 2B at its midportion and at its upper edge is provided with. a notch or recess 2B which is of a width sufllcient to accommodate both extensions 2| of the cover-forming portions. With milk bottles, beer bottles, and the like. the partition arrangement disclosed herein is of sufficient separating character and due to the fact that the cover at the ends is otherwise supported. these partitions are not required to extend the full depth of the container for cover support purposes.

In Fig. 2 opposite ends of the container are provided with modified forms of the invention.

Reference will rst be had to the lefthand form of the invention. In this form, the end wall I I is suitably recessed by providing an aperture III forming a hand hole or an opening for the reception of the fingers of the hands. The material therefrom is extended laterally as at Il and thence upwardly as at 32. The upper edge oi the end wall Il has a scored connection Il with the extension Il which is lateral thereof, and similarly connected as at 3l is an extension ll parallel to but spaced interiorly from the end wall il.

The portions ll and Il together with portions 3| and 32 and the included portion of the end wall il, form a pocket l1 adapted to receive a reinforcing member 3l which is relatively rigid.

'l'hlsmaybein thei'ormofapluraiityofsingle width strips secured together so that the overall thickness and depth of the reinforcing member is that desired, or may be a i'olded strip of solid iiberboard. corrugated board, wood or metal.

Preferably the length of the reinforcing member is that of the length of the end wall Il so that the member 38 extends from side wall to side wall. thus forming an elongated relatively wide upper bearing at the upper edge of the end wall and interlorly thereof and upon which the free end of the cover portion I8 operatively bears. -T'he portion 36 is extended downwardly and terminates about two thirds of the distance below the top edge of wall Il and lies parallel thereto and is suitably secured thereto. The interiorly positioned downwardly inclined portion is indicated by the numeral I0. the parallel portion by the numeral lll and the anchoring staple or clip by the numeral 4 i.

As illustrated in Fig. 3, the bottom Il is formed of two portions having the abutting relationship l and the same is secured in bottom-forming relation with the portions Il and Il by an adhesive or other connection l. This is the customary form of bottom construction.

The single anchorage 4I is sumcient to retain the portions li and 32 in encircling relation in association with the other pocket-forming parts relative to reinforcing member 3l. Portion Il, of course, is only oi' the width oi' the hand opening 30 but it does serve as a bottom retainer for member 38 and furthermore serves as a protector to the fingers should the member 3l be rough or splintered. Member I8 may be of wood, if desired. or of multi-ply paper board or metal as previously set forth.

Reference will now be had to the other form oi the invention illustrated in Fig. 2 and more particularly in the right-hand portion thereof. 'Ihe parts therein identical or similar to the parts shown in the left-hand portion of Fig. 2 bear identicalxnumerals. Thus, the portion 3l serves as a light shield to prevent the entrance of light into the interior of the container when it is covered.

Whenever it is desired to permit a more iirm grip at the hand hole or aperture.`one inclined portion $9, see left-hand portion of Fig. 2. is

provided with the substantially U-shaped slitting l2 which is in inverted relation and the included portion may be pressed inwardly as at Il, the same having a scored connection I with the portion Il. Merely for punloses of illustration,

the tilted position of the portion 43 is exaggerated as to its angularity.

The top Il of the cut-out 42 may lle slightly above the lower plane of the portion Il, so that when the portion Il is slightly tilted inwardly. its upper edge 4l will lie slightly above or approx-g imately in the same plane as the lower surface of the portion Il, thereby insuring a relatively effective light shield. This, however. is not as effective as the form of the invention shown in the right-hand portion of Fig. 2 in which the portion 3l is made unsliited and without any tiltable portion such as 4I.

As previously set forth, the relatively sti'ened upper end of the end wall prevents bulging oi the end wall when the container is lifted with its contents therein and thereby prevents the automatic release or opening of the cover, since the edge 22 of the extension 2i is adapted to frictionally engage the interior exposed surface of the portion I of the reinforced enlargement. 75

Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate another feature of the invention which may be necessary whenever semi-high or shoulder high partitions are utilized. This is an interlocking feature which holds the partitions in associated relation adjacent the bottom, even though the container be inverted which frequently occurs when the containers are shipped from the manufacturing plant to the bottling plant. This interlocked relation, as

lil stated, is clearly shown in Fig. 2 and the intermediate partition 28 has an interlocking relationship 28 which is the reverse of the interlocking relationship between partitions 23 and the transversely positioned partitions 21, with which i5 partition 26 also is interlocked.

If desired, the ends 4l and the immediately adjacent portion 39 may be notched to receive the ends of the partitions l1 but in that event, it would probably be necessary to utilize a plu- 20 rality of staples to secure the portion il to the adjacent end wall. Such a notching of the portion All and lil would also serve to hold the shoulder-high partitions in predetermined relationship relative to the bottom of the container.

When the container is filled with bottles and if inverted accidentally, the aforesaid interlocking relationship, whether it be of the last-mentioned character or of the character illustrated or of both characters, prevents the shoulder-high partitions from moving to the ne'ck end of the bottles, permitting the bottom ends of the bottles to contact, thereby insuring against breakage of the bottles, when the case is inverted, by reason of bottom to bottom contact.

' This invention in common with structures of this general character, has the advantage that the cover is self-locking and does not require additional sealing to keep the cover closed and it is of such a character that the cover may be repeatedly opened and closed without destruction of the self-locking feature. 'I'he reinforcement of the hand engageable portion insures against hand hole deformation in use and that together with the interlocked relationship insures longer life than is ordinarily obtainable in a fiberboard cellular structure `of the general character before set forth as old the art.

The single weig t box construction embodying all of these advantages before mentioned, has the additional advantage, not otherwise obtainable in prior art single weight structures, that the entire weight of the container is of the minimum amount, thereby reducing shipping costs and inasmuch as it is made of single weight board and is not generally of a double weight construction, the amount of material required for the container is materially reduced without appreciably reducing its strength or life.

'I'he saving in the use of the reduced or shoulder-high partitions is considerable. This divided top box has all of the advantages of a double wall structure and is of an approximate weight and amount of material of a single wall stmoture without any of the disadvantages' hereinbefore pointed out. which are inherent in single wall prior art containers.

It will also be noted so far as the exterior of the container is concerned, the reinforced top edges of the ends are reinforced interiorly of the container so there is presented an exterior surface of the container which is relatively smooth upon all faces, including side and end walls, top and bottom.

It will also be observed that when the form of the invention shown in the left-hand portion of Fig. 2 is provided, the fingers may be extended through the opening formed by the cutting M and engage the lower edge ofthe extensions 2l and elevate the same. This eliminates the necessity for providing linger holes in the cover which heretofore have been employed and which have been neceary in order to open the cover. These finger holes admit light to the interior of the container and this form of the invention eliminates the necessity for their presence.

In its broader aspect, the invention contemplates the formation of the ends of either character or both. In other words, the left-hand form of the invention shown in Fig. 2 may be provided at both ends or the right-hand form shown in Fig. 2 may be provided at both ends or both forms of the invention may be provided in a single container. The latter is illustrated herein.

It is to be noted that when the form of the invention shown in the entire Fig. 2 is utilized, the empty container may be fully assembled and then shipped to the bottling plant with the portion 43 in its original position, not as shown in Fig. 2. At the bottling plant, portion I3 isdpressed inwardly, the lower edges of the extensions 2i are elevated and then the covers are opened. The member I3 then is pressed outwardly into its original position, the case iiled, covers closed and the case is ready for shipment in a relatively light-proof conditionthat is, light is not admitted to the interior of the container. Should through accidental contact, or the like, member 43 be slightly tilted from its original position in alignment with portion 3B, as before set forth, there is in effect an effective overlapping so that but very little light, if any, will pass into the interior of the container. A container of this character is of the form which may be readily arranged to provide drainage in the event a bottle explodes or is broken. This is because there is an overlapping relationship between the portions i5 and i6 and portions i. and the two may be so associated together to provide what might be termed, a light-proof drainage arrangement. In other words, the interior portion of the bottom might be grooved so the drainage would run between the two portions of the bottom and then would drain out through appropriate openings covered by the other portion. Herein, the folded arrangement at the corners provides drainage openings 50.

Each divided cover adjacent the hinge score 2li and medianly thereof, is provided with an arcuate slit 5I, forming a light shielded nger hole when depressed-see Figs. l and 7.

In Figs, 4 and 5 of the drawings, there is illustrated a modified form of the invention. Herein numerals of the 200 series indicate like or similar parts. 'Ihe chief distinction in the present invention is that the divided cover type container shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 7, instead of being formed from a single blank, is formed from two or three blanks which are arranged in a manner known as a Bliss type container. When formed of two blanks, the sides, bottom and divided top constitute one blank member and the two ends, including the reinforcing arrangement, and a supplemental bottom, constitute the other blank member. When three pieces are utilid, the same first piece is provided and then each end is an individual piece and of a light-shielded and handle reinforced character.

Likewise, in this form ofthe invention, the lightshielded nger holes for divided top opening are Cul included and as illustrated in Fig. 2, the lefthand light shielded reinforced apertured hole has its light shield yieldingly associated, whereas in the right-hand shield portion. the light shield is non -yieldingly associated therewith.

Since the Bliss type container is well known in the container industry, no detailed description of its specific construction need be set forth. The specific form of Bliss type construction form shown in the present application is oi' the threepiece type, each end wall being not connected by a supplementary bottom wall. 'Ihe interlocking between the partitions and end wall, if, as and when desired. may be included as hereinbefore set forth with reference to the form of the invention shown in Figs. l to 3 inclusive.

In Fig. 6 there is illustrated in perspective, a similar form of the invention, wherein instead of the Bliss type container embodying a divided top, the same is provided with a single hinge top.

In this form of the invention, numerals of the 300 series indicate similar or like parts. The cover 3 I Il is hingedly connected along one edge to one of the side walls III and its other three edges are provided with depending portions 300 suitably secured together at the same constituting a rim on the cover to nestlngly receive the upper edges of the other walls. In this form of the invention, the end walls may be of individual character or may be connected together by a secondary bottom and thus the container may be made from two pieces or from three pieces, as desired.

In both forms of the invention illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, each side wall has extensions Ill or Jl'l which are stapled as at Zita or #lla to the ends 2|! or 3M, respectively, and each end is provided with a reinforcing structure, such as shown clearly in the upper right and left-hand corners oi' Figs. 1, 2 and 4, and each end is provided with a light-shielded hand hole or gripping structure, which may be of the character shown in the right-hand portions of Figs. 2 and 4.

The reinforcement of theends eliminates the possibility of tearing of the end. if the container is grasped at one end while loaded. It also prevents bulging of the end panel.

While the invention has been described as particularly associated with bottled goods, it is not necessarily restricted to the packaging thereof but may be utilized for other articles or materials.

'I'he invention, as will be evident from the foregoing description and the drawings, requires a minimum amount of material, thereby effecting considerable economy. 'I'he parts are simple in form and few in number. and 'the only loose pieces in the container are the partitions when utilized .or required and these are so associated together that smaller pieces may be utilized, thereby effecting an additional economy, and they are so associated together that they may be handled as a unit.

While the invention has been described in great detail, the foregoing specification is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character. The modifications illustrated and/or described herein as well as others which will readily suggest themselves to persons skilled in this art, are all considered to be within the broad scope of this invention, reference being had to the appended claims.

It is, of course, to be understood the paper board may be of waterproofed or treated stock and of various types or grades of boards in its broadest phases, and the use of the terminology paper boar in the claims is intended to cover all such standard paper boards or paper board stock as are now well known in the industry. such as corrugated, single or double wall board or solid fiber, waxed, lacquered, or otherwise sumciently treated board.
